For measuring spread of disease like prostate cancer imaging can be really helpful, see: PSMA PET-CT. I could imagine a world where imaging is really cheap and agents were safer, in which case we might opt to use imaging instead of physical exams, as they would offer way earlier detection. But for now the additional radiation (not present in MR), cost, risk, time, etc makes it a no go for standard of care screening.
